Are counters (noun) physical things? For what it's worth, Wizard's internal R&D uses beads. |

Card Organization: Multi-Color Cards You have an entire section for Yore-Tiller Nephilim, one for Witch-Maw Nephilim, one for Ink-Treader Nephilim, and one for Giant-Eye Nephilim, and not one for poor Dune-Brood Nephilim? For shame! (And those are the only five that have color combinations thus far.) |

Playing Settlers of Catan with a D12 instead of 2D6 @Joe Actually we've ensured the game remains balanced. It's different, to be sure, but we've objectively removed elements of the game that turned us off so that we can continue to enjoy the game. We wanted to avoid the whole "money in the middle" thing. You'd think having lots of money in a Monopoly game makes it more fun, but it changes things much more than it seems. We didn't want to ruin Settlers like that, so we made sure the game stays balanced as we changed rules. |

Playing Settlers of Catan with a D12 instead of 2D6 @Alex they act as if a 7 or a 1 is rolled, so you can either use them to get a new development card or 1 of any resource. The main reason we allow a new dev card is from -another- house rule that if you flip over a tile (another house rule, all tiles start face down) and it's a water tile, you get a dev card for that. So we have this game that uses the pieces from Settlers and we call it Settlers :-) |

Playing Settlers of Catan with a D12 instead of 2D6 @Joe we don't because we usually play right before bed and we don't like being mad right before bed! Isn't that just silly? :-) We don't use that rule, but there's no reason you couldn't. We also didn't play with that rule using 2d6 though, which is why I didn't include it. It wasn't until we started using a d12 that we decided to split "the resource on 7, development on 1" into separate mechanics, which is why I did include it. |

Do cards that say “Each player…” target me? @thesunneversets yes, as per CR303.4a things are attached via targeting. |

I Don't Understand Scab-Clan Charger's Ability It does this because it's intended to be a Gruul card. It's a creature that you can use like a giant growth, but only when attacking - Gruul isn't much for pumping its defenders. (Technically, you could use it to pump your opponents' attacking creatures too, if you were so inclined...) |

Where can I get my Magic the Gathering play critiqued? This is the internet. I'm sure there are people willing to go through his picks, if he's willing to... record every pack (which I doubt his fellow drafters would appreciate). The only reasonable way to do it would be have your phone and take pics of each pack you have, then when you get home write up a report (a rough draft is okay... oh haha! I'm not funny...) and post it there. If you hand wrote every pack out, your fellow drafters wouldn't be very pleased. |

How much money would I have to spend to play in tournaments? Sorry wes, the chance of getting a shock land in dragon's maze will be about half the same as getting one in rtr or gatecrash. Citation: markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/41772272135/… Being so low of a chance, and seeing that Dragon's Maze is a small set that will not sell as many packs, the price is not going to drop significantly. |

How much money would I have to spend to play in tournaments? @Affe that's because each vintage game has three stages: shuffling, dice roll, and mulligans. |

How much money would I have to spend to play in tournaments? Can't disagree more on getting the shock lands. If you want to be competitive you must play shock lands. That's not a should, that's a must. They're already very cheap considering their power, clocking in at about ten bucks per, but it's unlikely they'll drop much lower. The chances to get one in Dragon's Maze is going to be about the same as it is to get one now. When you compare shock lands to other utility lands, they're very affordable. |

What happens when you blink a cipher-ed creature? With the 'it' in "as long as it remains on the battlefield" being the object, not the card (which is technically in exile, even though we all just slip the card underneath :-) ). |

Can I sacrifice a creature that is only temporarily under my control? If you couldn't, spells like Act of Treason wouldn't be nearly as powerful. There's few greater feelings than stealing your opponent's big creature he hasn't even used yet to hit him with it, then sacrifice it on him. Hint: don't do that to your wife the first time you play with her, she won't play for weeks. [citation: personal experience]. |

Please recommend a good shuffling machine So this model would not be very effective for something like Magic the Gathering, due to wear on the cards. |

Dice with an average roll of zero? If you lack dice of different colors, you can just roll them both and flip a coin (heads positive, tails negative) or a third die (even positive, tails negative). A bit more of a pain, but considering the absurdly high number of plain Jane white dice floating around my house, it would be reasonable. |

Does 'shuffle your library' mandate that the cards actually change order? The point about requiring them to be shuffled is interesting. 1) The owner isn't shuffling it. He has delegated all randomization duties to the proxy. 2) It actually hinges on the definition of shuffle. If the opponent is confident the library is in a randomized state, he may consider it shuffled. 3) Clearly the solution to that is to have the opponents proxy shuffle after your proxy shuffles :-) |

Does 'shuffle your library' mandate that the cards actually change order? The point about Jefromi is very interesting. The proxy would have to search for a randomly determined nth card. I.e. secretly roll a 4 sided die (or 20 sided for land) and if a 3 comes up, pick the third one he encounters. |

What does, “It can't be regenerated” mean? If a creature gets its "regeneration shield" (i.e. regeneration is activated) let's say after the declare blockers step, and it then gets hit by a "cannot be regenerated" effect, does the regeneration still happen? |

Cribbage pone strategy for hands involving a run and a pair I lost you when you said throwing your opponent two queens in his crib was much better... Your average of 3.61 points, minus the two points you are giving your opponent, means you only gain 1.61 points on average, while the first option averages 2. Clearly superior. |

What happens when the {X} in Mind Grind *is* zero? To be clear, if you cascade into Mind Grind, the card would remain on top of the library because of 601.2? You're not allowed to "cascade past it"? |
